Alhambra’s Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

June 27, 2013
3 mins read

Friends of the Alhambra were asked to vote earlier this year for the summer musical, with choices that were all kid friendly. Joseph won hands down. It is truly a show that the entire family can enjoy, even young children. Many musicals have first acts that run up to an hour and a half, but not Joseph; it is just about half an hour. The show zips along so well that even children with short attention spans never get bored.

The curtain call is a rousing ten to twelve minute reprise of every major song in the show, and with all those marvelous voices joining forces, it really raises the roof at the Alhambra and the audience members leave with rhythm in their hearts and smiles on their faces.

The Alhambra Theatre goes all the way to make your visit a memorable occasion, with, of course, the food and the show, but it’s the other extras that make it really special. Outside on the lawn you will find two Sphinxes to start you on your trip to Egypt. Inside are other photo opportunities that include Egyptian statues and even a gold camel.

Adults will have their choice of four delicious food selections. Kids have the option of the Young Pharaoh Buffet, which features food they know and love. Visit alhambrajax.com for additional information, and prepare to be delighted with this lively summer production.

The Dual Critics of EU Jacksonville have been reviewing plays together for the past nine years. Dick Kerekes has been a critic since 1980, starting with The First Coast Entertainer and continuing as the paper morphed into EU Jacksonville. Leisla Sansom wrote reviews from time to time in the early 80s, but was otherwise occupied in the business world. As a writing team, they have attended almost thirty Humana Festivals of New America Plays at Actors Theatre in Louisville, Kentucky, and many of the annual conferences sponsored by the American Theatre Critics Association, which are held in cities throughout the country.

They have reviewed plays in Cincinnati, Chicago, Miami, Sarasota, Minneapolis, Orlando, New York, Philadelphia, Sarasota, San Francisco, Shepherdstown, and The Eugene O’Neill Center in Waterford, Massachusetts. They currently review about one hundred plays annually in the North Florida area theaters, which include community, college, university, and professional productions.
